Emilia Clarke reunited with her Game Of Thrones co-star Jason Momoa in a series of sweet Instagram snaps on Wednesday.
The pair, who famously starred together in the first series of HBO show back in 2011, could be seen chatting together backstage at the Sundance Film Festival, with the actress gushing she ‘felt like a Khaleesi all over again!’
Emilia, 36, played the Mother Of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen, who was forced to marry Jason’s Khal Drogo, but he is sadly smothered to death by his wife after being left catatonic by a battle injury.
Gushing about her time at the festival in Salt Lake City, Emilia appeared in a series of fun images in front of a firepit, poking fun at her character’s ability to walk on hot coals.
Another image showed herself and Jason, 43, chatting backstage after she attended the premiere of her new film The Pod Generation.
Emilia captioned her post: ‘Oh thank you @sundanceorg for making me feel like a Khaleesi all over again! (Complete with fire that I learnt I can’t walk through)
‘What a snowy wonderland of people I love and admire with films that bring the HEAT! ITS POD GENERATION TIME BABY!!’
Emilia and Jason played lovers on Game Of Thrones’ first series with Daenerys forced to marry Khal by her vile brother Rhaegar.

Despite originally despising her husband, Daenerys grew to love Khal’s softer side, and was devastated when she lost their unborn child.
Khal was eventually left in a vegetative state after contracting sepsis from a battle injury, with wife Daenerys smothering him to death, and using his funeral pyre to awaken her dragons.
Emilia was starring in the Sundance film Pod Generation, opposite Chiwetel Ejiofor, with the pair playing a couple dealing with futuristic technological developments that allow for the creation of artificial wombs, or ‘pods.’
Meanwhile Jason was promoting his documentary Deep Rising, about the controversial practice of ocean-floor mining.

Emilia Clarke says she didn’t know about the sex scenes with Jason Momoa on Game of Thrones
It comes after Emilia revealed she would cry before the sex scenes with Jason on Game of Thrones as she didn’t know about the nudity ahead of accepting the role.
The star admitted she was ‘terrified’ of the sex scenes because she ‘didn’t know what to do’.
Emilia, who was just 23 at the time, was ‘fresh from drama school’ and had ‘never been on a film set before’ and had to strip naked in front of ‘all those people’.
Speaking on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast in 2019, Emilia said: ‘I took the job and then they sent me the scripts and I was reading them, and I was like, “Oh, there’s the catch!”
‘But I’d come fresh from drama school and I approached it as a job: if it’s in the script then it’s clearly needed.
‘I’ve never been on a film set like this before and I’m now on a film set completely naked with all of these people, and I don’t know what I’m meant to do, and I don’t know what’s expected of me, and I don’t know what you want, and I don’t know what I want.
‘Regardless of there being nudity or not, I would have spent that first season thinking I’m not worthy of requiring anything. I’m not worthy of needing anything at all.’
However, she did credit Jason, 43, who portrays Khal Drogo, for making filming as easy as possible as she felt ‘imposter syndrome’.
During the hit series, Momoa’s character ‘virtually rapes’ her on their wedding night and Emilia said she feels ‘fortunate’ for how the actor handled the scene.
‘He was crying more than I was. It’s only now that I realise how fortunate I was with that, because that could have gone many, many, many different ways,’ she added.
Emilia explained how the Aquaman star put her at ease due to having ‘experience’ in the industry and showed her the ropes.
The actress added: ‘He was always like, “Can we get her a f***ing robe? She’s shivering!” He was so kind and considerate and cared about me as a human being.’
